Can someone help me here?
In 2003, team #68 Truck Town had large wings that extended across the ramp and down the sides. Their wings reached over the edge of the ramp and down the sides. The end of the wings were around the support bars. Here's a picture:

You can see that the wings don't actually grab the bars, but use them as leverage if they were pushed, similar to the wings described in this thread.
If I remember correctly, the wings were ruled illegal and team 68 was not allowed to use the end sections of them.
To me, this should be the same call for the example given.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken with team 68 in 2003.
